        Verdict

        Misbehaviour can beat Grand Prairie and Lunar Lord in a race that should not take too much winning. There are not too many in with chances in this selling contest and Misbehaviour showed enough encouraging signs when second at Folkestone before Christmas to warrant support here. He was off the bridle early but stayed on well behind Sunnyarjun and it is hoped that the stiffer finish today will help his cause. In addition he does not look at all badly treated compared to his winning form of a couple of years ago. Grand Prairie also found one too good last time in the shape of Come Bye at Folkestone, but he was well held by the selection in that earlier race at the Kent track and it is hard to envisage him turning the tables. Lunar Lord has yet to open his account over hurdles but has been placed a few times and had winning form on the Flat, so is worth a second look, while Richard Johnson is an eye catching booking for Sarena Special but he has shown little apart from a 40-1 shock success on the level at Chepstow two years ago. A very small investment on Misbehaviour may pay off.
